Selling a couple of items for my sister - One high value item needs posting to the US so a little worried as its not mine and expensive, but royal mail, even international signed for isnt guaranteed to get a signature the other end! so crossing my fingers for this now!
Got another one listing tonight too

Also on my sales i made £70 this week so im pleased for my sales

I would have used a courier to get a signature at the other end.

Do watch the terms and conditions as well as there are some clever restrictions:

But surely on a free listing day people don't list things that are free to list anyway (albeit with the new limitations)? I list everything that isn't starting at 99p...

Excellent have a whole load of stuff to get listed (we've been sorting out this week), now I can concentrate on getting them onto Turbolister ready for the weekend instead of listing tonight and tomorrow.

I never list anything for 99p on a Free Listing Day, what's the point?

Is anyone else having this problem when listing items? The last two days when I've listed anything on my Personal and Business accounts they are not showing up straight away, I did an on-line chat with a representative and he said that everyone's listings go to Indexing first but my items were taking over 5 hours to show up. It's so annoying, not sure why it's started doing this. I've seen listings show up straightaway after people have listed them but not sure why my items are taking this long or are they just doing it to some Ebayers?

Is there any you recommend? With signature/high value item?

There's a good thread on the eBay forum that I have read and used in the past....but I am incredibly rubbish at adding links into my messages :rotfl:

At the moment I use parcel2go but who you use will depend on where it is going, what it is, what size it is and what value it is. That probably doesn't help but it's true!

Hello All! Its great to hear so many are doing well ( although I still have to catch up on a months worth of posts). Havent been around as having a few dramas at home but just about ready to come out of my cave!

Listed a load of stuff of which i sold about a third of... nothing of real value just great to clear some space! When i went to relist the unsold stuff it is trying to charge me for every item stating the arent eligible for free listing! I thought the limit was 100 from now on but surely it includes relisting the same item?? It took me hours to list in the first place so now it looks like i need to re enter all my stuff- bummer!
It makes me think about shuffling back off to my cave!

I thought it had been agreed by the pinks that relists would be treated as listings, so I can't understand why you were showing fees to pay.

Assuming you haven't already listed 100 items at 99p this month then my only other thought is whether you missed an upgrade to business email (there have been more than few people getting them) .

Could you try listing one new item at 99p and see what happens?

Floxxie

How do you know when you have hit 100 99p listings? (apart from looking at the fees on your invoice or at the time of uploading)

Have prepared another 17 but couldn't be bothered to take piccies today so doing lots tomorrow and over the weekend.

Out of the 45 listings I now have 4 with bids

Hello everyone,

Can I join this challenge or am I too late?. I know we are half way through the year now. But I seemed to be doing pretty well with Ebay recently. I started clearing out the shed and selling the excess junk on ebay 2 weeks ago. Some of the junk I've sold is unbelieveable.

It's junk so I start all biddings at 99p. Some of the surprises:

a $1 baseball trainer I bought from Orange County in the states. It's white with colour finger markings that shows you where to put your fingers to throw sliders, fast ball and curve ball. Starting price 0.99 - winning big £18.48 + P&P

Ebay total so far (after fees and paypal charges) £327.42

sorry have i missed something major here... what is this 100 items for 99p limit thing about?
